Syracuse, N.Y,. — Parts of central New York have received an early taste of winter after some areas received up to 9 inches of snow over the weekend, causing numerous accidents in the Syracuse area.

The highest snow totals Sunday were in the neighboring Oswego County towns of Mexico and Parish, 25 miles north of Syracuse.

Police say Sunday's icy conditions caused more than 50 accidents in Syracuse, including a pre-dawn crash on Interstate 81 involving 11 vehicles. Officials say a man was pinned underneath one of the vehicles. He suffered serious head injuries and is listed in critical condition at a Syracuse hospital.

Most of this warmth will also be accompanied by sunshine and dry weather. However a weak cold front diving down from Canada will bring some showers to parts of Michigan and northern New England on Tuesday and Wednesday.
